It was a misquote from a source more than a typo. Both have been corrected with the link to the pivotal components on the story on Scubaboard. Thanks for pointing it out and apologies to one and all, there are a LOT of articles out there on this in English, Dutch, you name it. Not many mention the correct distance involved if it took the path shown on the google earth image. Whether it did or not, we will likely never know. I tripped over some of the background history researching the ship anchor that was being salvaged. Had no idea submarine activity was that intense in that part of the Caribbean during WWII. Had lots of it off Florida in the Straits, further north up the east coast and in many other parts of the word to be sure.
